Abstract
Credibility evaluation of modeling and simulation (M&S) applications is becoming increasingly important as M&S applications get larger and more complex currently. To perform the M&S credibility evaluation efficiently, cost-effectively and successfully, this research establishes a hierarchical evaluation model of M&S credibility and proposes a methodology of FAHP-based fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE). Aslo a hierarchical evaluation model of M&S credibility is built up based on a detailed discussion of credibility evaluation indicators. Meanwhile a methodology of FAHP-based FCE model is introduced to reduce the effect of individual subjective judgment and favoritism on the evaluation results,. Finally, a case study is presented to prove the feasibility and validity of the proposed approach.
